A Day in the Life

She was so wonderful and very knowledgeable. You could tell she has a great relationship with the community. She did a great job of ensuring everyone's comfortability level. She provided clear directions throughout the entire process. She welcomes all into her home and that was surprising. The experience was definitely a 10 out of 10.

Fantastic and unique experience with Nimoh!

We had such a wonderful experience with Nimoh! She was so friendly and knowledgeable and a great ambassador of Kenya and the Kikuyu people. We rode the local buses, experienced the market which was amazing, the local butcher, and the cooking of a traditional meal. It was so delicious! I would recommend this to anyone!

Ensuite on va préparer le dîner chez Nimoh. Le repas est délicieux, on appr...read more

If you only do one excursion in Nairobi, make it this one!

We have done A LOT of cooking classes and excursions during our travels, and this was hands-down one of the best we’ve ever experienced. In fact, it was the highlight of our time in Nairobi! The experience was made truly special by our guide, Nimoh. From the moment she arrived, we knew we were going to have an amazing day. She was energetic, enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable, and so much fun to be around. By the end of the experience, it honestly felt like we were spending the day with a f...read more
